The story of Woman with a Parrot
Woman with a Parrot was the first nude by Courbet accepted at the Paris Salon, in 1866, after an earlier entry in 1864 was rejected as indecent. Joanna Hiffernan likely posed for it, as she did for other Courbet paintings. It is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Gustave Courbet
Jean Désiré Gustave Courbet was a French painter who led the Realism movement in 19th-century French painting. Committed to painting only what he could see, he rejected academic convention and the Romanticism of the previous generation of visual artists. His independence set an example that was important to later artists, such as the Impressionists and the Cubists. Courbet occupies an important place in 19th-century French painting as an innovator and as an artist willing to make bold social statements through his work.
